Yep, it definitely is another new week and time for another list of new releases, but first…I had some incredibly good runs last week. Keeping with that train of thought; it could be from hammering the new Bronson Arm album that you will get to hear in full later this week but trust me, and hear me, when I say that if you are at all into noise rock, THIS will be your jam! Period. (Couple this with last week’s Tonguecutter and you’ve got a dream duo, just sayin’). Elsewhere we’ve got death metal from Prophetic Suffering, and blackened death metal from both Skaphos and Behemoth. Now, think what you may about Behemoth because they’ve certainly earned good, bad, and ludicrous but, they…I’ll leave it to you to figure out the rest of that sentence (pick your own adventure type of deal here). So, seek it out or don’t, choice is yours. And then, there’s the rest of the list. Seek and destroy, folks.
